What is silicates and bacteria contamination?
100
Xterminator Solution, BigDye Terminator v3.1 Ready Reaction mix, Taq, dNTP, Kappa, and deaza are all defined as.
What is critical non-exempt reagents?
200
Representative wells of this instrument are tested when originally placed into service and annually thereafter to check for temperature accuracy.
What is thermocyclers?
200
This log is filled out before and after using work surfaces to indicate that CALTech Dispatch was used to eliminate potentially infectious materials.
What is the Daily Decontamination Log?
200
Critical Non-Exempt reagents require this type of validation.
What is Parallel Lot to Lot testing.
300
This instrument is NOT calibrated since it's only used to collect liquid to the bottom of tubes, not to form pellets.
What is mini-centrifuges?
300
This separation barrier has been implemented to prevent contamination and is mandatory for successful test results.
What is Pre and Post PCR areas?
300
Master mix requires the following labeling requirements.
What is Identity of Reagent, Storage Conditions, Preparation Date, Initials of preparer, and expiration date.
400
Calibration of our pipettes occurs.
What is Every 6 months?
400
This control is used to look for contamination?
What is "no DNA" controls (blanks)
400
This category of reagents are NOT tested against current lot. New lots are subject to documentation of satisfactory performance upon first use of the reagent only; not lot to lot comparisons.
What is Critical Exempt reagents?
500
(Daily Double) Performance records shall be maintained and readily available for this time frame.
What is the life span of the equipment plus two years thereafter (including electronic records)?
500
(Daily Double). These pipette tips are used to prevent contamination. They are recommended as part of contamination prevention protocols.
What is aerosol barrier pipette tips?
500
Small aliquots of this is stored to minimize the number of freeze thaw cycles.
